On 11–12 June 2024, a symposium of the International Section of the ISSA on Prevention in the Chemical Industry takes place in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, on the topic “Hazardous Substances in Maintenance Works”.

Maintenance work is very accident-prone. Triggers for incidents include inadequate safety planning and preparation, creative improvisations when unexpected problems occur, and conscious or unconscious changes to the plant. Therefore, it is important to repeatedly raise the hazard awareness of all those involved. This is especially true when hazardous substances may be present in the facility, used by maintenance personnel, or generated or released during activities.

Based on incidents during maintenance work, the conference will cover a wide range of topics including the interface between man and equipment with the aspects of work psychology and instruction, cooperation with external companies as well as the current state of standardization for pipe labelling. Other focal points include the exposure of maintenance personnel to welding fumes, the topics of hot work and explosion protection, the collection of hazardous waste, the transport of hazardous goods and maintenance as well as transport and waste disposal of damaged lithium batteries. The challenges for both large-scale industry and the skilled trades are highlighted.

Experts from the occupational safety sector united in one place. Keynote speeches and practice-oriented workshops to help you reduce the number of accidents at work and unsafe situations in your company. Dr. Stefan Hussy will speak on the topic of "The influence of digitalization and climate change on occupational health and safety".
